Auto top off

Ok so I got my 29g with 10g sump up and running, wow I didn't realize how fast the water would evaporate. So now I've been trying to find a good ATO system. Seen the jbj system but I don't think it'll fit. My return section is only 10w x 6"l x 6"h. ( I know its small). Let me know what y'all think thanks.

 

I use a Bluline Tsunami AT-1. You only need about 2" x 2" for it, and that's if you do what I did and put a bigger pipe on it. Otherwise, it's like .5" tube, with a magnetic holder, and "airline" out to the unit. Then you just need to have the tube from the ATO pump mounted somewhere.

 

That's exactly like what I need, thanks BR. Can I ask you where u purchased yours from?

 

I won mine in a raffle at the DVRC frag swap lol. It was provided by Champion Lighting Supply.

Here's Blueline's website with their other distributors. Not many TBH.

 

Your return section is bigger than mine. haha. 8" X 5" X 6"

 

Check out the Spectrapure LLC-UPLC-II. It takes about an inch of space and maintains the level within 1/10 of an inch to 4" if thats what you want. It also has a float switch high level back up and comes with the same bulletproof metal peristaltic pump as the LiterMeter III.

I have the Aquahub DIY ATO kit in combination with a Tom's Aqualifter pump. All together I think it runs around $50 and will fit perfectly in your size return section. In my fuge, the float switch just hangs on the side is about 1.5"x1.5" Here's a link to the kit:

I was looking at this. How do you like it? Pics by chance?

 

I hooked up a JBJ system e few weeks ago and for some reason it quit working. it would send the signal to turn the pump on but the relay inside wouldnt activate. I went on youtube and found this and built it. It is working great so far.
